Real desktop and legacy depth
Windows Forms, WPF, Java Swing, SWT, JavaFX, AS400 terminal. Few codeless tools cover legacy Windows and enterprise desktop scope with this depth.
Inflectra • Test automation
Rapise is Inflectra's codeless test automation platform with real desktop, SAP, and enterprise app depth.
Rapise rollouts with Merito start with RVL authoring standards, then cover desktop and SAP automation, SmartActions tuning, CI/CD wiring and Spira integration, plus LambdaTest or BrowserStack device clouds where mobile is in scope.
What it is
Rapise covers web, desktop, mobile, API, and enterprise applications (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle ERP, Salesforce) in one platform. Its distinctive combination is codeless authoring through Rapise Visual Language (RVL) plus full scripting flexibility underneath. Teams that start codeless can drop into code when complexity warrants.
SmartActions self-healing uses stored business intent and visual analysis to locate elements when selectors drift. Recent AI capabilities include natural language to executable code, test data generation from plain language, and screenshot-to-test-steps generation.
Rapise's genuine differentiator is legacy desktop and enterprise app coverage. Windows Forms, WPF, Java Swing, SWT, JavaFX, and even AS400 terminal automation (RPA-style) for legacy UI tasks. Very few codeless automation tools handle this footprint.
A Rapise rollout sets RVL authoring standards, automates the desktop and SAP flows, tunes SmartActions self-healing, and wires runs into Azure DevOps or Jenkins with results reporting to Spira.
Ideal use cases
What it is best at
Windows Forms, WPF, Java Swing, SWT, JavaFX, AS400 terminal. Few codeless tools cover legacy Windows and enterprise desktop scope with this depth.
Rapise Visual Language (RVL) for codeless, JavaScript underneath for scripting. Teams escalate into code only when complexity demands it.
Stored business intent plus visual analysis locates elements when selectors drift. Reduces script maintenance on UIs where DOM changes frequently.
Test results flow into Spira runs natively. For Inflectra-standard customers, that integration eliminates the usual reporting stitch work.
Core capabilities
Broad platform coverage across web, desktop, mobile, API, and enterprise apps.
Web
HTML, JavaScript, Angular, React, AJAX. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and legacy Internet Explorer.
Desktop and legacy
Windows Forms, WPF, Java Swing, SWT, JavaFX, legacy Windows apps, AS400 terminal automation.
Mobile
Native iOS and Android, hybrid apps, on real devices, simulators, and device clouds (LambdaTest, BrowserStack).
API and enterprise
REST, SOAP, GraphQL APIs. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics AX/CRM/NAV/365, Oracle ERP, Salesforce Classic and Lightning.
Rapise Visual Language plus AI-powered generation capabilities.
Rapise Visual Language (RVL)
Codeless authoring with loops, branches, data-driven testing, and reusable modules. No code required for most scenarios.
Natural language test generation
Describe test steps in plain English; Rapise generates executable code.
Screenshot-to-test
Generate test step sequences from application screenshots.
AI test data generation
Plain language descriptions produce realistic test data permutations.
SmartActions self-healing plus parallel execution and CI triggers.
SmartActions self-healing
Stored business intent plus visual analysis to locate elements when selectors drift. Test updates can persist without AI on subsequent runs.
Parallel execution
RemoteLaunch coordinates runs across machines for parallel execution.
CI/CD triggers
Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub connectors for pipeline-triggered runs.
Load testing with JMeter
JMeter compatibility for basic load testing of automated scenarios.
Where it fits in the stack
Native integration with the Spira platform.
Documented coverage for enterprise app footprints.
Common integrations customers wire during rollout.

Merito point of view
Merito's position: Rapise's defining value is desktop and legacy application depth combined with modern web, mobile, and enterprise app coverage. For customers with Windows Forms, WPF, Java Swing, or AS400 terminal scope in the regression matrix, Rapise is one of the few codeless automation tools that handle that footprint well.
Rapise pairs naturally with Spira. For Inflectra-standard customers, the native integration means test results flow directly into Spira runs without the usual reporting stitch work. That is a real advantage over choosing a separate automation tool with bolt-on reporting.
For SAP-dominant programs, Merito typically recommends Tricentis Tosca (standalone or SAP ECT) for deeper cross-system and enterprise flow coverage. For SaaS-ERP-dominant programs (Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow), AccelQ is often broader. Rapise fits where the mix genuinely includes desktop or legacy scope alongside the rest.
SmartActions self-healing and AI-powered natural language generation are genuine capabilities, but they do not change the fundamentals. Both work best as accelerators for first-wave coverage and lighter script maintenance, not as a replacement for authoring standards.
